Telltale: The Walking Dead Saves Will Carry Over

No details from the second season other than that some decisions will stick.

Here's the thing about episodic content: It generally helps when those episodes follow one another. It helps even more when seasons also follow. Look at TV, for example. Would people care so much about, say, Breaking Bad if each season introduced a whole new storyline and cast of characters? Probably not. That's why Telltale will be figuring out some way to bring your save files and all the decisions contained within them to The Walking Dead Season 2.

Sure, we expected such a move after the huge success of Telltale's zombie adventure game, but this is the first time someone at the company has confirmed it. "Right now we are just starting to form the concept for season two," Telltale founder Dan Connors told Red Bull in an interview. "This all remains to be seen but we are definitely figuring out how to carry the saves over."

Personally, I'd love to see a Walking Dead series set years after the events of the first series, perhaps with Clementine as a badass teenager roaming the world, taking out the undead. We've never seen the later days of the apocalypse in The Walking Dead universe, so it could be rather awesome to see what happens years down the road. What would you like to see from the next season?
